Located 3 kilometers away from the downtown, with the local cottages gently embraced by vast rice paddy fields and tranquil lakes, this village is widely considered as the most beautiful rural area in Vietnam. Because no chemicals are used in farming process, all of vegetables and herbs are totally fresh and clean. That’s why the Tra Que is well-known as the most famous organic vegetables village in Vietnam. From the early morning, bunches of veggies were harvested and quickly delivered to local markets and restaurants. Gradually, they become indispensable ingredients served in every dish throughout Vietnam, not just in Hoi An.

The carpentry village which was formed in the 15th century and very famous for its sculpture works and talented carpenters will be our 1st stop.
